She states that, "Thescholarship of teaching is both science and art and serves as the pathway to genuine excellence whereby thoseteachers who are scholars offer their knowledge, wisdom, and humanity to students through an investing and caringpartnership that inspires students to be futuristic and critical thinkers, to be passionate about development anddissemination of disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge that makes a difference, to be creative and reflectiveand visionary, to be active and kind citizens of the professional and world communities, and to be secure in self andcourageous in ethical conviction."

This increased students’interest as they began to “surf” the Internet, exploring many other subjects and topics. As a classactivity, the students discussed ethics and how it may potentially affect the way we utilize theInternet. Current articles addressing the misuse of the Internet were also addressed anddiscussed. The students were then required to communicate with their instructors and each othervia E-mail. This has a great potential use as a means of academic advisement in the future.VIII.

With due regards to students’ work, itcan be said that serious ethical violations are not frequently encountered or suspected. However, theresponsibility of correct assessment of student’s work lies solely on the instructor. Objective exams aregiven separately to assess concepts and processes in engineering design, visualization, 2D and 3DModeling. Five three-hour skills exams are administered under supervised instructional controlcondition to ascertain the "design process" ability and applicability of students in two dimensional andthree dimensional modeling framework to judge their competency based "affect" and mastery of thesubject learned.

theoretical knowledge students have gained in the curriculum. Topics include a six-class sequence on written communication, a series of classes on engineering drawing, and classes and discussions on career development, licensing, creativity, intellectual property, ethics, reliability, maintainability, and quality control. Most of the student work revolves around their project. They start by writing a letter of inquiry that is followed by a formal proposal and mid-course review during the first semester. In the second semester students submit test reports and a final project report. They also develop a poster presentation for their project and give an oral report. In addition to the project work, students are

In addition, they seemed to become clearly aware of the non-technical constraints (legal, political, institutional, ethical) involved in engineering design, aconsequence of having them exposed to actual, concrete, real-world problems and to multipleresearch tasks outside the classroom. Several of the freshman design students felt their designexperience in EID 103 definitely affected their desire to be an engineer.

Students are typically asked to complete the KAI in the first or second classmeeting. Brief descriptions of the KAI inventory, its history, and its underlying theory areprovided at that time. The inventories are scored by a certified practitioner, and the results areinterpreted and checked for validity during the following week. A three-hour feedback session ispresented to the class within two weeks, during which time each student receives his or herindividual KAI results.

As a resultof a vast consultation that included the business, industry, public and parapublic sectors, theprogram has been geared towards training versatile engineers capable of designing,implementing and analyzing elements and systems of the physical environment using amultidisciplinary approach, while considering ethical, social and economic factors. In thedevelopment of the program, the Université du Québec à Rimouski recognized that the practice ofdesign is central to the education of the next generation of engineers.

It pervades every aspect of our everyday lives, frommaking the coffee, to plugging in to the Internet or using transport systems and othercommunication devices as we travel to our workplace.
